Pacific Composites - Rod Blank Help

Hi, A mate of mine recently gave me two Pacific Composite rod blanks labelled as M12, they are 5'9" long with a 19mm butt and a 3mm tip. I have searched to try and find out what the blanks are rated to, but have been unable to find anything out.

They are pretty sturdy blanks and my guess is that they would be rated to say 10-20lb. If so I am thinking that the blank might match up with an ABU7000 that I have loaded up with 20lb braid, which would make it a decent outfit for floating baits for pinkies etc

I have never built a rod before but is something that I would like to have a crack at so any info that anyone could provide in regard to the blanks capabilities and maybe even a guide to a build receipe would be appreciated.

Cheers Steve
